BILLIONAIRE PRETENDS TO BE DISABLED AND A POOR STREET VENDOR TO FIND LOVE — UNTIL A WOMAN DID

I can’t believe Vanessa did this to [music] me. She only wanted to marry me so she could divorce me and take half of everything. I don’t think there’s a trustworthy woman who likes me without being interested in my money.  Calm down, boss. Not all women are the same. It’s because you only look for socialites.

 Eric, I have an idea. I’ll disguise myself as a poor man.  Have you lost your mind, boss?  Thinking about it. If you want to trade places with me, I’m in.  [laughter]  If you’re tired of all that money, I wouldn’t mind taking it off your hands.  Very funny.  I’m serious, Eric. I need to know if someone can like me for who I am and not the money I have.

I can’t stand being deceived anymore.  And you want to find a sincere woman by starting with a lie?  It’s just a test. I’ll hide my identity. I’ll be Gabriel, a candy salesman who lost the use of his legs in an accident.  Aren’t you exaggerating, boss?  Watch yourself. You’ll forget the character, get up from the chair, and walk away.

If you do it in the middle of the street, they’ll think it’s a miracle.  Can you stop making fun of me and help?  I wouldn’t miss this show for anything.  [laughter]  Tomorrow, drop me near the square on a well-hidden street and pick me up at the end of the day.  So, how was your first day at work? A disaster.

I spent the whole day in that unbearable heat. I almost melted under that sun. Look, there’s still time to give up this crazy idea before someone gets hurt or you embarrass yourself. I’ll only stop when I find the right woman.  Get out of the way. You’re blocking traffic. And if you really want money, get a real job.

Why don’t you get off the street? He’s working and selling candy is much more dignified than rolling down your window to humiliate someone. You should be ashamed. Are you okay, sir? Don’t pay any attention to what that woman said.  I’m okay. Thank you very much. No one has ever defended me like that. I can’t accept this. It’s your lunch.

 You can. It’s not charity. It’s lunch between friends.  Thank you. My name is Gabriel.  And I’m Natalie.  Do you live around here, Natalie?  I do. I work at [music] a restaurant right here. I had two jobs, but I lost one. But, I don’t give up. I take care of the house and my mother, Edith.  You live with your mother?  Yes, she’s getting older, so I’d rather have her stay at home.

 She took care of me when I was a child, and now it’s my turn to take care of her. And you? Do you live with your family?  I lost the use of my legs [music] in an accident. After that, my fiance left me. My family disappeared, and now I live on someone’s charity in an old house. I sell chocolates just to afford food.  I’m so sorry, Gabriel.

Whenever I can, I’ll bring you a hearty packed lunch.  Thank you.  So, boss, how did your presentation go today? Did you meet anyone today?  A woman defended me in the middle of traffic, Eric. She confronted a driver who was humiliating me, took me into the shade, and shared her only sandwich with me. Her name is Natalie.

 A woman of gold, then. And did you take the opportunity to tell her the truth?  No. I ended up making up a very sad story. I told her everyone abandoned me after the accident.  Boss, she’s already proven she has a good heart. Why make this lie bigger?  I just need more time to get to know her.  More time for what? You’re deceiving a good person.

 [music] Someone is going to get hurt because of this.  At last, you’re home, my daughter.  [sighs]  I left dinner nice and warm. And don’t tell me I can’t help you. Because tomorrow I’m going to look for cleaning work.  Mrs. Edith, you’re not getting a cleaning job. I already told you that you need to rest. I can handle our bills.

 Ah, you’re so stubborn. But tell me, how busy was it at the restaurant today?  It was hectic. But Mom, something happened on the street today. I saw a wealthy woman humiliating a young man in a wheelchair who sells candy at a traffic light. I couldn’t just stand there, so I went over and and defended him.

 That’s right, sweetheart. You did the right thing. We have to help people who need it. And do good without judging anyone. But tell me something, is he handsome?  Mom! What kind of question is that? The man needed help and you’re thinking about that?  Well, sweetheart, doing charity is good, but looking doesn’t hurt anybody.

 And you turned completely red just talking about him. Hmm, there’s something there.  Mrs. Edith, stop it and let’s have dinner. I brought lunch. And don’t start with you didn’t have to.  I was going to say good morning.  Liar. Your face was already thanking me.  [laughter]  Hmm. That looks great.  It’s nothing special. It’s just pasta.

 Mhm. Delicious. I haven’t had food this good in weeks.  [music] [music]  What?  Nothing.  Why are you looking at me like that?  I was thinking how lucky I was that day.  What day?  The day you showed up at that traffic light. Since then, you bring me food, coffee, talk to me, and never ask for anything in return.

[music]  Friends take care [music] of friends.  Then I found myself a very special friend.  You’ve been quite talkative [music] lately.  It’s the food’s fault. I’m getting stronger. [music]  [laughter]  Strong, I’m not sure. But more daring, [music] definitely. And how many did you sell today?  Five packages.

 Yesterday it was [music] three. In 6 months, you’ll open a second location. I need to get back to the restaurant.  I promise, when I get rich, I’ll remember you. See you tomorrow?  See you tomorrow, Gabriel.  Natalie!  What?  There’s a lunch container here with more chicken than mine.  It’s for Gabriel.

 Ah, the lunch container man.  Mom, don’t start.  I just want to know when he’s going to return my containers. Because pretty soon, I’ll be serving soup in the pot. And that smile, are you taking him food or a marriage proposal?  Goodnight, Mom.  Did the lunch lady show up again today?  She did.

 She comes [music] every day she can. She’s always willing to help me. She’s beautiful and kind.  Good.  [music]  Tell her the truth.  I think you’re falling for her.  I’m going to do one last test.  Have you completely lost your mind, boss?  I want to know how far she’ll go  [music]  to help someone with no money.  She split her only sandwich, brings him food, and stood up to a stranger for you.

What more do you want? [music] For her to adopt you?  If you make up another lie, she’ll suffer over something [music] that doesn’t exist. This isn’t testing her heart. This is going to end badly.  Gabriel? What happened? Why Why you have that suitcase there?  The owner of the house kicked me out.  Where are you going to sleep?  Here in the square.

I don’t have money for a place.  Absolutely not. You’re coming to my house right now.  Natalie, you don’t have to.  There’s a small room in the back of my house, but it’s clean and has a comfortable bed.  [music]  And Saturday is my mother’s birthday. I’m going to make a little cake. And she’ll love meeting you.

 Thank you. I don’t know what I’d do without you.  [music] [singing] [music]  Mom, I’m home and I brought someone.  The lunch container man?  Mom.  I was just confirming. I have the right to meet the man wearing out my containers.  [laughter]  Daughter, you didn’t tell me he was this handsome girl.

Just look at him.  [laughter] [gasps]  Mom. Gabriel lost the room where he was living. And I offered him the small room in the back for a few days until he finds another place.  If my daughter trusts you, you’re welcome. Make yourself at home, young man.  Thank you very much, Mrs. Edith. I promise I won’t cause any trouble.

 Can I ask you a few things.  No, Mom.  Well, then tell me everything. Where are you from? Do you have a girlfriend?  [music]  And do you eat everything or are you picky about food?  Mrs. Edith, let Gabriel breathe. This is your room now.  [music]  Make yourself at home.  It’s wonderful, Natalie.

 Thank you so much. Eric, she let me into her home. She gave me a room. And her mother welcomed me with open arms.  And now, boss, the test is over? Are you going to tell the truth?  I went too far, Eric. If I tell her the whole truth now, [music] she’ll hate me. And I already like her.  Hey, Natalie. Who is that man who came into your house yesterday in a wheelchair? Did you secretly get married  [music]  and not even invite the neighborhood for cake?  Mrs.

 Adeline, he’s just a friend who needs a roof over his head for [music] a few days. Nothing more than that.  Hmm, but isn’t he the man I saw getting out of the wheelchair and getting into that fancy car? Could it really be him? Or am I going crazy? Or is this man deceiving everyone? I’m going to find out the truth. But what a beautiful thing, [music] Natalie.

This cake looks so fancy that if you put two little figurines on top, it could perfectly serve to marry you and Gabriel.  Mom. For God’s sake, [music] the cake is for your birthday and you’re already trying to force a wedding in the kitchen?  [laughter]  My daughter, this [music] is called household economics.

 We already get to use the candles, use the same cake, and even save money on the reception hall.  Mrs. Edith, you think [music] way too fast when it comes to business.  [laughter]  Gabriel, you’re handsome, polite, [music] patient enough to listen to my stories, and you don’t complain when the coffee has no sugar.  Mom, please don’t start with that.

 [laughter]  If Natalie [music] keeps dragging her feet, she’s going to end up an old maid.  Let’s sing happy birthday  [music]  before she starts inviting the neighbors to be godparents.  [laughter]  Happy birthday [singing] to you. Happy birthday [music] to you.  [laughter]  The first piece is for our guest of honor.

 No, Mrs. Edith, absolutely not. Tradition says the first piece should go to the birthday [music] girl or to whoever you love most.  Well, I love myself too much to risk my dentures on this caramel [music] topping.  [laughter]  Do you have all your teeth in your mouth, son?  Mom.  What? It’s a serious question.

 Your father lost three teeth and never [music] ate corn properly again.  [laughter] [gasps]  How was your day today, Natalie?  The restaurant [music] was busy today. I worked a double shift. I also left resumes at two more places on my way home.  You never stop, do you? You could rest a little once in a while.

 I can handle [music] it, and I need to keep working. And you? How did sales [music] go today? Was the square busy?  I didn’t sell anything today.  Don’t [music] get discouraged, Gabriel. Tomorrow will definitely be much better. I’m going to take a shower [music] and go to sleep. Good night, you two. Take all the chocolate boxes.

 Why?  Because today you’re going to learn how to sell from someone who knows how. But I don’t work for free. I want 50% of the profit. What do you think?  Mrs. Edith, have you gone crazy? Natalie will be angry [music] if she finds out.  She won’t find out anything. Grab the box [music] and let’s go before the sun gets hot.

Attention, attention. Kind souls, look at this little string bean beside me. Buy a chocolate, sweeten your day, and help keep a walking skeleton alive. [music]  Mrs. Edith, for God’s sake, lower your voice. I have some dignity.  Be quiet [music] and look pitiful. Marketing is the soul of business, and you’re the banner.

 [laughter]  Mrs. Edith, you’re a public menace selling candy.  This is called business [music] talent, my boy. Look, only two little packages left. Attention, attention. Mom, what are you doing here in the middle of the street yelling like a crazy woman? Hi daughter, what a nice surprise. I already told you you don’t need to work.

 I can handle [music] everything. I’m not that old.  Natalie, this is all my fault. I asked her to come.  That’s a lie.  Mrs. Edith,  be quiet, young man.  [music]  Let me talk. Daughter, the idea was mine. I made him come and I even charged 50% [music] of the profit. If anyone is wrong here, it’s me. And I don’t even think I’m [music] wrong.

Let’s go home. Gabriel, since when does a chocolate salesman have a black card like this?  Oh, Mrs. Edith, that card is fake. It doesn’t work.  What a habit poor people have of pretending to be rich.  [sighs]  Boss, I finally found you. You need to go to the headquarters. There is an urgent document that only you can sign.

 Eric, I’ll go to the company tomorrow. Pick me up at the same place as always in the late afternoon. Patrick, have you ever stopped to think about how much trouble you’re getting yourself into? Eric, I’ve truly fallen in love with her and I don’t want to hurt her.  Gabriel, I almost heard your little secret, but you were talking so quietly.

 And who is this man?  Natalie, I’m glad you made it. This is Eric, a long-time friend who [music] just got back from a trip. Very nice to meet [music] you.  Nice to meet you, Eric. But tell me something. What do you do to be dressed up like that in this heat?  I work in a high-end commercial building, miss. A man needs to maintain his style and good taste [music] under any circumstances.

 Hmm, he’s full of himself. I like it.  [laughter] [gasps]  What do you think about taking a walk in the park next [music] door and enjoying the end of the afternoon? You looked so serious [music] when I arrived at the square, Gabriel. Is something worrying you? You know you can tell me everything, don’t you?  It’s nothing bad, Natalie.

It’s just that when I look at you, I think about how much my life [music] has changed. I feel like I’ve found a new reason to smile every day.  [music]  You’ve brought so much light into my life, too, Gabriel. Being close [music] to you makes me feel so good.  Oh, spare me that smooth talk. You look like you don’t even know how to how to fry an [music] egg.

 Well, you should know I’m an excellent cook. If you agree to go to dinner [music] with me, I can prove I’m a man with many talents.  Look at you, so [music] bold. I’ll accept that invitation just to see how far your charm can take you.  I hate my name. I hate where I came from. I thought that finding [singing] honest love meant [music] leaving who I was.

I traded everything I had  [music]  for a  I’m not crazy. That man is fooling everyone and making poor Edith look like a fool. Oh, but this is not going to stay that way.  Boss, your suit is right there on the seat. You’d better get changed.  Boss, these are the documents that need to be signed.  They are all signed.

Thank you.  Thank you, Boss.  Boss, am I off tonight? I have a date with Lizzie, and I can’t mess this up. After all, tonight is my big chance. Look at you, Romeo. Who would have thought my loyal right-hand man would fall in love at this the square?  [laughter]  Best of luck, buddy.  Edith, I saw Gabriel [music] get up from that chair, put it in a fancy car, and drive away. And he even has a chauffeur.

 Stop being crazy and making up gossip. Gabriel is a good man.  I’m not a gossip, [music] and I’m not crazy. I saw it myself. I saw it with these two eyes.  Then it’s time to get new glasses. Hmm, but now that I think about it, what would a rich man want [music] with two poor women like you? You’re the poor one, you [music] idle old woman.

 Go find something to do before I sweep your shins. There he is. Ask him now. Tell Edith the truth. Go on, Gabriel. [music] Tell Edith the truth. Confess that you [music] got up from the chair and got into that black car yesterday.  Mrs. Edith, I don’t even know what she’s talking about. I spent the whole day selling at the square. You must have seen someone [music] who looked like me and and got confused.

 See? I told you. He’s an honest, struggling young man. Don’t worry, my boy. She’s such a chatterbox.  Natalie, Miss Edith, I need to talk to you. Eric offered me a room where I can stay for a long time. And I’ve decided to move out today.  Gabriel, why? You don’t bother us at all. Please, stay.  Natalie, you’ve already done so much for me.

I thank you, but I need to try to get back on my on my feet on my own. But I promise I’ll keep [music] going to the square every day waiting for you.  [music] [music]  Were you going to stay out in the rain until you caught a cold?  Natalie, you’re soaking wet. You could catch a cold. [music]  Ever since you left our home, I’ve missed you so much.

Every night I wonder if you’re okay.  [music]  Natalie, I’m losing control of my heart. I can’t pretend anymore that I see you only as a friend. I’m completely in love with you.  [music] [singing] [music]  Natalie, will you date me?  Yes, I want to very much.  Eric, I asked Natalie to date me, and she said [music] yes.

 We’re officially dating. I can’t believe it. Then we’re two. Because Lizzie and I are dating, too. We have the same taste [music] in everything. It’s incredible. Congratulations, my friend.  [music]  Now we can all go out together.  [laughter]  Patrick, did you tell her the whole truth about your fortune? Not yet.

That moment in the rain was so pure, so beautiful, that I couldn’t. But tomorrow I’ll tell her everything, without fail. Boss, you should have told the truth by now. And the worst part is, to help you, I ended up lying to Lizzie about my job. I’m sorry about that.  My goodness, what is that face, girl? Did something happen?  Gabriel and [music] I are officially dating.

He asked me to be He asked me to be his girlfriend today.  Finally, my daughter, you’re no longer single.  [laughter]  That man is a gem, [music] and he has a beautiful heart.  Mhm. And there’s more, Mom. The employment agency just called me. I got my second [music] job. Tomorrow morning, I’m starting as a housekeeper at a beautiful mansion.

The pay is very [music] good.  Oh, my daughter, a boyfriend and a job on the same day?  [music]  Everything is falling into place.  My life really begins to change, Mom. Wow. What a beautiful house. I’ve never seen such a fancy mansion.  Welcome, Natalie. Come with me and I’ll explain the job to you.

 Your job today will be to clean the living room. Wow, this is the best vacuum cleaner I’ve ever used. One day, [music] I’m going to buy one of these. Honey, where are you? Patrick, honey, I’m so glad I found you.  Natalie? Natalie? Natalie.  You can walk? I I pushed you around town in that wheelchair. And you could walk this whole time?  Natalie, let me explain.

 What’s happening, honey?  Let go of me, Vanessa. Natalie, I can explain [music] everything. Just listen to me, please. Natalie, I  Stop. You don’t need to say anything [music] else. And are you married, too?  No. No, that’s not it. She is  My god, you’ve been deceiving me this whole time.  Natalie, please wait.

 Patrick, what [music] is this nonsense? Who is this housekeeper?  What did you come to do at [music] my house?  I came to talk. I miss you. We both made mistakes.  There is no us. I never want to see you again. [music] You just destroyed the only thing that mattered to me.  My daughter, what happened to you?  Gabriel is a lying scoundrel.

He can walk perfectly, [music] and that mansion belongs to him.  There was a woman there calling him honey. He’s married, Mom.  My daughter, then Adeline was right all along.  You liar. You deceived us this whole time. And you’re married, too? How could you be so cruel, Gabriel, if that’s even your name?  No, no.

Vanessa is my ex-fiancée. There’s nothing between us anymore.  Enough. That must be another lie [music] of yours. It’s over, Gabriel. Go away.  Miss Edith, please, listen to me.  Come in, young man, and tell us everything. But no more lies.  My name is Patrick Murphy. I’m the owner of Murphy Confections.

That mansion is mine. I invented Gabriel, the wheelchair. After Vanessa betrayed me, I lost my trust in people. I wanted to know if someone could love me without knowing about my money.  And me? What was I to you?  At first, a test.  GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.  You two were getting along so well. How could he do this to you, my friend? I swear I didn’t know anything.

 Eric never told me a thing. I will never forgive what he did, Lizzie. I will move on with my head held high. You knew about his lie and hid everything from me, Eric.  I couldn’t tell you. He’s my boss.  You covered up a lie. You’re just as guilty.  But Patrick is a good person and truly loves Natalie.  You covered up a lie.

 Lizzie had a terrible fight with me because of this secret. I told [music] you this lie wasn’t a good idea.  [music]  I managed to hurt everyone. But I won’t give up on Natalie. I have an idea. I’ll bring her some flowers.  Mrs. Edith, let me see Natalie.  She said she doesn’t want to see you. Please leave.

My daughter is very hurt by you.  Please, Mrs. Edith, forgive me. Please keep the flowers.  Serves you right. You deceived everyone. But he’s handsome. Oh, if I were younger, I wouldn’t let a millionaire like that get away.  Natalie, my friend, stop for a minute and listen to me. Eric assured me that Patrick is is truly suffering.

His feelings for you are real. Don’t you think he deserves at least one chance?  A chance for what, Lizzie? For him to invent another story? He treated me like a test. I will never forgive him again.  What do I do to win her back? What do I do? I know. I’m going to serenade her.  [singing] [music]  Natalie, my love, I know I was wrong.

 With my mistake, [music] I [singing] learned. Please forgive me. I want to prove to you that my love is sincere. Natalie, [singing] my love, I know I was wrong.  [music]  With my mistake, I learned.  Patrick, stop this. This is my workplace.  I only wanted to show you that I am sorry.  Then start by respecting [music] me when I say I don’t want to see you anymore.

 [music]  Natalie, yesterday we received complaints because of the serenade. I am sorry, but you are fired.  This is unfair. I have [music] worked here for years. I did not ask him to come.  I know, Natalie, and I am sorry. But I cannot change the [music] decision. I am only following orders.  Boss, I have terrible news.

Natalie was fired [music] from the restaurant this morning.  What?  [music]  Why did they fire her?  Because of you, boss. [music] You decided to put on that loud serenade outside the door, and the owner hated it. You hurt that young woman once again.  I will not [music] let her pay for my mistakes. I am going to buy that restaurant right now.

What does this intrusion mean? You again?  I want to buy this entire restaurant.  [laughter]  You wasted your time. The restaurant is not for sale.  This is an offer well above market value for this property. What do you say?  Deal, sir. The restaurant is all yours. Let’s sign the contract.  I will let you remain manager of this restaurant under one condition.

I want you to rehire Natalie immediately. But under no circumstances can she know that I am the new owner. And one more thing. Treat her well. Was I clear?  Perfectly clear, Mr. Murphy. I will not say a single word. I will call her right now.  Good. Do not disappoint me.  [music]  Natalie, this is the restaurant manager.

We are under new management and we want you to come back to work with us. And with a higher salary.  Oh my god. Of course I accept. Thank you so much. Mom. Oh. Mom, they hired me back at the restaurant [music] and with a higher salary. The manager said the restaurant has a new owner now. Strange how quickly it was sold, isn’t it?  [bell]  Mrs.

 Edith, I came here today to talk to you.  Then come in.  Mrs. Edith, I came to ask you for forgiveness. You welcomed me into your home, trusted me, treated me like family.  Son, your lie hurt my daughter deeply, and it hurt me, too. When Adeline told the truth, I stood by you. I defended you.  I know. And I’m ashamed of it.  But despite everything, I know you’re a good person.

And I also know you love my daughter. I hope you learn that lies never lead anyone down a good path, and that you never do this again to anyone. I forgive you, my son.  I learned, Mrs. Edith. Thank you so much for forgiving me.  Natalie is very hurt by you, but I know my daughter. She still loves you.  I hope that one day she can forgive me, too.

 Tell me something, Patrick. Do you have anything to do with the restaurant? They said there’s a mysterious new owner.  Mrs. Edith, I can’t lie to you. I’m the new owner of the restaurant. I only bought it because Natalie lost her job because of me. Please don’t misunderstand me, and don’t tell her yet. If she finds out while she’s angry, she won’t want to keep working there.

 Oh my god, now you want to drag me into another lie of yours, too? [music]  It’s only for a little while. As soon as she calms down, I’ll tell her everything.  Okay, but don’t [music] make up anything else for God’s sake.  Thank you for everything, Mrs. Edith.  My daughter, come here.

 Sit with me for a little while. Why won’t you forgive Patrick?  Mom, don’t [music] start.  He made many mistakes, I know. But that man loves you, daughter. And you’re suffering. [music] Do you think I don’t see it?  I’m fine.  You don’t eat properly, [music] you don’t sleep properly. And when the doorbell rings, you look at the door with a hopeful look, I [music] know.

Holding on to hurt isn’t good for you, my daughter. Hurt is like a thorn.  [music]  The tighter you squeeze it, the more it hurts.  Mom, I don’t trust him [music] anymore. How can I stay with someone like that?  My daughter, everyone makes mistakes. But everyone deserves a second [music] chance. I think he learned.

 Look, think about it. And it’s almost like you got an upgrade [music] in your boyfriend. It’s like you had an old car that turned into a Ferrari.  What is that, Mom? Don’t joke about that.  I’m not giving up on Natalie, Eric. I’ll fight for her every day until I prove my love is real.  [gasps]  Delivery for Miss Natalie?  Take it back, [music] please.

 I don’t want it.  What persistence. [music] I already said no.  Please forgive me. I know I made a mistake no man should ever make. But let us start over from scratch. I love you so much.  Patrick, [music] there’s no going back. I can’t trust you anymore. And a relationship without trust will never [music] work.  Natalie.

 [music]  Looks like it didn’t work.  Wait, slow down.  [music]  Eric. Look over there. She already has someone else. That’s why she doesn’t want to come back to me.  Boss, sometimes [music] it’s just a co-worker. Don’t jump to conclusions.  I’m going to give up on Natalie. I’m not going to look for her anymore.

Now I finally understand that it’s over forever.  Hey young man. Where’s that handsome boss of yours who disappeared off the map? He hasn’t shown up for 3 weeks. My stubborn daughter is getting sadder and sadder.  [sighs]  Mrs. Edith, Patrick gave up on Natalie for good. He saw her hugging and laughing with a restaurant employee and thought they were dating.

He said it’s over forever. And now he barely leaves the house.  But he really is an idiot. The new employee is my nephew. Hmm. Ah. Hmm.  [music]  I know what I’m going to do. Natalie! Natalie, my daughter!  Mom! What happened? Are you feeling sick?  I ran into Eric at the market.  Tell me, Mom.  Patrick is getting married.

 Getting married?  With that blonde, his ex.  Vanessa?  Eric said he’s getting married to forget you for good after seeing you hugging on the restaurant employee.  [sighs]  He didn’t know he’s your cousin.  He He gave up?  And what did you expect, daughter? You slammed the door in his face about 15 times.

No man can take that forever.  Mom, I was just scared.  Listen carefully. If you love him, fight for him. Because if you let him get married today, you’ll cry for the rest of your life. Mom, I can’t let him do something this foolish. [music] Oh my god, I don’t have any money. Patrick! Patrick!  Natalie?

 Don’t marry Patrick. Please, don’t marry her.  Marry who?  I know you’re marrying Vanessa today. Eric told my mother at the market.  Natalie, I just woke up. I’m wearing sweatpants, holding coffee on a Saturday morning. Do you really think I’d get married like this?  So, you’re not getting married?  I haven’t seen Vanessa since that day.

And I told her never to [music] contact me again.  Mrs. Edith.  Mrs. Edith.  [laughter]  Oh my god,  [music]  I came here on a bicycle, running around like a crazy woman.  [laughter]  On a bicycle?  My mother’s rusty bicycle. I pedaled across the city.  Natalie, [music] you crossed the city on an old bicycle to stop me from [music] marrying someone else.

Why?  Because I love you, Patrick. I never stopped [music] loving you. I was just very afraid of getting hurt again. Forgive me for [music] being so hard on you. And that man you saw hugging me [music] at the restaurant was just the cook saying goodbye to me. And on top of that, he’s my cousin. There is no one else, Patrick.

 There never was.  I’m the one who has to ask for forgiveness every day of my life for lying. I love you, Natalie,  [music]  more than anything in this world.  I forgive you. But promise me you’ll never lie to me again, ever.  There’s just one [music] more thing I need to tell you. And after that, I swear I’ll never do it again.

 [music]  Patrick, what did you do?  I was the one who bought the restaurant where you work. And I told the manager to rehire you and not [music] tell you that I’m the owner.  You deceived me again?  No, my love. I didn’t tell you because I knew you wouldn’t agree to work [music] there again. And I know how much you need that job.

You lost your job because of me. I just wanted to help you.  My mother [music] once told me that everyone deserves a second chance. My being [music] honest with me now, so I’ll give you that second chance. But no more lies, [music] Patrick. None.  I promise, Natalie.  About time. Mom, you lied to me. I did. And look at the result.

 [music] There you two are, glued together.  [music]  Mom, are you crying? Of course not. Just got a speck [music] of dust in my eye. Come here. I waited a long time to see you living your own life, my daughter.  [music] [singing] [music]  Take good care of my greatest treasure, my [music] son. I’ll take care of him with all my love, Mrs. Edith.

 [music]  You look beautiful. You, too. Patrick, [music] do you accept Natalie as your wife?  Yes.  Natalie, do you accept Patrick as your husband?  Yes.  I now pronounce [music] you married.  [music]
